I thought this was fun and weird. I have noticed in Latvia they will always find a way to adapt a foreign name into their language, which I love. This is a link of a Latvian baby name website posting the top 100 from the UK and the Latvian adaptations. I think I dig the Latvian forms more than the English forms, especially with some names I really loath. Wdyt?

I especially dig Vilova, Hloja, Izla, Megana, Deizija, Popija, Meisija, Ketlina, Samera & Skaja.
